Yes, I was using the first method. The box appears in the top left corner so I moved the camera to put it on the subject, but the camera never switched to indicated it found the eye. It seems to work when the subject has 'bright whites'. I just began trying it last week. I will keep playing with it. I like it when it works.
Good Morning Ray. That's strange, it's dead on in both my bodies. Let me go back and look at my exact settings and I'll get back to you and walk you through them. The R5 II AF and recognition is very sticky, you shouldn't be having a problem. I keep the focus rectangle in the center, move the camera composition to the subject that I want the recognition to follow, then keep the shutter button pressed half way , recompose and fire away.
Just got back from the great state of Alabama, man people are nice there! My whirlwind assignment went perfectly, great attendees, outstanding weather, wonderful new connections. I went a little bit out on a limb and only took an R5 II, and my drone. I'm beginning to work through the images and it seems to have performed incredibly well, in some difficult lighting conditions.
One of the reasons that I wanted to use it in that environment was to put eye controlled focus to the acid test. There were a large number of people and I found myself continuously "looking" at different people in the groups and watching the focus move around to the points that I wanted it to, pretty amazing. Color saturation and dynamic range are top notch. Love these cameras more every day....Show more →
Roll Tide Jim!!!!
'Baman's are great people!
Glad you are busy and putting that eqpt to "the test".
Appreciate your "field" updates on how the Canon's work in action!

Pretty significant event for my good friend Tim this afternoon. This is his approach to landing at the hangar, in his new Robinson R44. The landing spot is just a few feet away from the place where he came very close to losing his life in an experimental helicopter several years ago. I have to believe that for Tim, aside from his passion for flight, today represents a substantial psychological milestone, and an opportunity to set the record straight.

Glad that you had a good trip. Come back when you can stay a little longer!
Thanks Joe, 'Bama hospitality was in full view, it was a great success! We'll have another whack at it, they'll be sending me back for progress and finished shots, and I'll be on my own.
I guess I drew the short straw and got the "dungeon" stadium last night. This is a 5A school that has some of the poorest lighting in the area. Many schools have upgraded to LEDs for their fields. ISO 25,600 is mandatory with 1/1000 shutter using my 100-400. Adobe 'Denoise' was pushed a lot. Guess I need to add this field to the 300 f/2.8 column.
